Context of Matthew 24:33

31He will send out his angels with a loud trumpet, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other. 32“Learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near. In the same way, when you see all these things, recognize that he is near — at the door. 34Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things take place. 35Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
